A small practice goal
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Notice the feedback after each input.
What you need to achieve
Fill the square target with seven pieces, without gaps or overlap. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Check the rules when you are unsure.
How to proceed
- Drag a selected piece.
- Rotate in 45-degree steps or flip it.
- Use snapping for precise alignment.
- Check the layout or use one-piece assistance.
How to interact with the game
Mouse/touch dragging and rotate/flip buttons. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
A useful example
The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Verify the rule before continuing.
An important reminder
Overlaps do not count as filling the target. Compare the situation with the worked example. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
